Thanks! I have checked that Question. I have tried using freestyle edge marking, but it wont get the same result as the above picture. — Eric Egnell, Oct 30 '19 at 09:47
Maybe [edit] the question to add some details of what you have tried? Questions that show some effort get better responses. — Luciano, Oct 30 '19 at 09:50
Does this answer your question? How to get topographical contour lines like shown in manual? Analogous to Rhino3D functionality? — Luciano, Jan 05 '22 at 13:01

I'm very curious to see a better solution since I'm not very experienced with Blender myself, but perhaps this would work for you:

create a plane an add an Array modifier, with Constant Offset in the Z axis. The more duplicates you create the more lines you'll have in your final render.
select the object to be rendered and add a Boolean modifier.
- Operation: Intersect
- Object: plane
hide the array for rendering

Repeat with any other objects to create the horizontal lines.

I have tried the super tips from Luciano, and that got me much closer. Now I think it's just me not getting the settings right:

That looks good! Try the Boolean:Intersect on a more complex mesh, I had some issues with it (I hope you don't) but didn't spend time trying to fix. – Luciano Nov 01 '19 at 10:07
Did you ever got this figured out? I want to achieve similar result as well! – msurguy May 15 '20 at 06:32
